    They can't. The OP is a pointlessly rhetorical question. I'm not sure why it is even being asked.

    its being asked because of the bosmer passives rework that essentially made one of them useless for any kind of pve, when they replaced reduced detection radius when in stealth with increased stealth detection. this is likely hoping to make a point to ZoS that their bosmer stealth passive rework may not have been the best decision.

    It's not like ZOS isn't aware that enemies don't stealth in PvE. They even explicitly said it. So I still don't see how this poll is supposed to help.

    I suppose I don't see much reason to focus on this, specifically, when several passives were altered in ways that offer little to no benefit outside of a PvP context. This game has been hampered by refusal to separate PvP and PvE since its inception, and the problem has grown worse.

    There is “little benefit” and then there is the Bosmer stealth detect passive, which offers exactly zero in PvE and basically zero in PvP (it actually is a hindrance by the way, non-Bosmer get proximity alerts before a Bosmer will).

    To name the one other highly questionable change, Altmer off-stat recovery, that has use in PvE. Mag characters will have to dodge roll, they’ll have to block, they will actually use stam frequently in PvE. It’s not the most useful obviously and it certainly doesn’t fit the lore, but it does have tangible use in both PvP and PvE. The Bosmer change is both lorebreaking, and an actual detriment in stealth gameplay.

    I mean you are not wrong. it just so happens that this poll about this particular "primarily pvp" ability. though to be honest i cannot think of any racial passives or their changes that were made quite that pvp centric. I'd love an example of something that is comparable though, in case I missed it.

    The last thread that got locked eventually had someone trying to claim the nightblade mobs that use stealth was valid.

    It's not, because it's not actually stealth they use it's an invisibility effect. While 3m of stealth detection does help in the calculation to detect invisibility as an effect it doesn't actually detect them. All that happens is your base forward detection of 20 meters + 3 meters =23 meters is just countered by the invisibility effects backend subtraction of -30 meters from detection.

    @Nolic1 Like?
    Sure, there are some NB NPC that do go invisible for one charged up attack, but that's not happening frequently enough nor is it threatening enough to make stealth detection worth while. You even know where they are pretty much all the time because of the heavy attack indicator! You'll never make the conscious decision to slot a skill like Revealing flare just to deal with these NPCs because there is absolutely no reason to. I would call it "overkill", but seeing how slotting a skill like that often isn't even ideal, it's more like shooting yourself in the leg because it fell asleep.

    Let's face it, in PvE Mage Light and Expert Hunter don't actually have active components at all.

    Stealth Detection outside of PvP is useless and Bosmer should have never gotten it included in their racial passives at the cost of stealthiness!

    When I played, I couldn't help but to use it, considering the ability is passive. Granted, anytime an enemy in PvE stealths or vanishes, I can't see them - there's some thief mob that vanishes and rubs his daggers together, before reappearing to attack. I'm sure they could adjust that single mob, though.

    Right? Seems to just be a reminder that OP doesn't like stealth detection. I've been a bosmer since launch, and very rarely did I use the old passive outside of PvP. Overland mobs die too quickly as it is, and in group dungeons I had to spec for healing, mobility and sustain.

    It wouldn't make sense to divide the content, considering that ESO takes place during the three banners war - I'd assume you knew that considering your forum signature. I also don't understand why you would play a game that was developed to focus on pvp, only to request that PvE content be separated from, and balanced separately. At some point, people who request this have to take a step back and acknowledge that the problem with this balancing resides within themselves.

    Actually, 143 answers are trolling, and 15 are serious. Why? The ability is passive, you have no choice but to use it, as it's always active. Do I use the stamina regen on bosmer as a magicka character? Yep, I have no choice but to. Does it help? Debatable on a magicka character.

    It's more likely that this poll itself is for trolling.

    Well, if your chosen race had a racial ability "slot" that was for detecting dwemers that are out of phase from our reality... and you realized there weren't any dwemers out of phase with our reality to detect.... you might think that racial ability was a total waste and weakened your chosen race.

    Are all 143 responders playing bosmers? And even if some play bosmers can you be 100% certain they actually put points into the passive?

    There are certain enemies that can go invisible. I most often find them at anchors, and they are super annoying when you're already fighting other mobs. So if I have inner light on my bar and see it happen, I'll trigger the skill to kill the heavy attack and stun before it happens.

    Now if this post is about the Bosmer passive, that's not how the poll was phrased. NPCs can go invisible, which reduces their detect radius to 0, but they don't crouch and sneak.

    Well because you do not use it does not mean they are not there but in Crypt of hearts, Wayrest sewers 1 and even in Cradle of Shadows there are stealth NPCs and even a few bosses that use it minor bosses not end ones as for over land there are alot of assassin and rogue type enemy's that use stealth and in Hal Ra there are some stealth mobs not sure on many of the other trials sense I do not do them often enough to notice. Now you might not use this skill to reveal them cause you see no use for it but if an enemy goes stealth for 2 to 4 seconds that means there not taking any damage cause they become immune to it during that time even to aoe damage dots still apply but all other damage is ignored. But I do not play like many players and chase meta builds I am a casual/roleplayer that enjoys playing the game and doing the content.

    It’s not about chasing meta builds. There aren’t any stealth enemies. The ones you are talking about are on proximity, they will not be revealed with inner light. They are not what stealth detect works on. It’s okay, it’s confusing. The nightblade npcs that attack, then “disappear” and have yellow lines coming from an empty space where they are — this is not affected by stealth detection. Try it on a character that doesn’t have inner light. Put down an aoe and hold block once they “disappear”. I guarantee it will be the same regardless of the class/skill/race combination.

    When something is Actually revealed by stealth detect it has a white wisp of light above its head. Otherwise what you are experiencing is just like the “somersault over your head” move some npcs do, an animated mechanic.

    As you can see there are some who believe that it works in pve at anchors and in dungeons/delves.

    The difference between sneak state, invisible state, and an animation gimmick, is not something that everyone knows.
